OK the IVSM did work wonders once I got over all of the nasty side effects and withdrawals. The numbness had gone away everywhere except one spot in my right leg. Throughout the weekend, the numbness has once again spread to include my entire right leg, parts of my stomach and back and now parts of my left leg too.

I am still having back spasms every time I lay down and the neuro keeps telling me it is not the MS that it is stress.

But I really am not stressed like I was a few months ago. Work has been really easy, and the sale of the jewelry has given us a pretty good Christmas. My future stepdaughter is visiting this week and it's the first time i have seen my fiance smile in a long time. Life is pretty good right now. So good in fact that I am flat out refusing to try steroids again at this point. I don't want to be sick and bed ridden for Christmas.

Does anyone have any suggestions besides steroids that would help with the numbness?
